(en)FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is a composition on the basis of a combination of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide and a cationic polymer for permanently shaping hair and a process therefore.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The classic technique for permanent hair waving is familiarly based on two treatment steps. In the first step, the cystine-disulfide bridges of the keratin of the hair are opened by the action of an agent that contains a reducing ingredient (waving composition). The hair is then put into the desired form. In a second step, cystine-disulfide bonds are closed again using a fixative, that is, an agent containing an oxidant ingredient.
Thioglycolic acid, for instance in the form of an ammonium or monoethanolamine salt, is used as a classic permanent hair waving reducing agent. Other typical reducing agents are 2-mercaptopropionic acid (thiolactic acid), 3-mercaptopropionic acid, cysteine, and derivatives of these compounds, as well as certain mercaptocarboxylic acid esters.
Alkaline-adjusted preparations based on mercaptocarboxylic acid esters, despite being adequately effective, cause hair damage, which is expressed for instance in increased hair breakage. Often, these compositions also undesirably stress the scalp. Finally, the unpleasant odor of the reducing agents used requires intensive perfuming of the products. By using 2-mercaptopropionic acid, it is possible to solve some of these problems. However, in comparison to thioglycolic acid, which is widely used, thiolactic acid produces weaker waves.
For gentle permanent waving of damaged and especially bleached or dyed hair, waving compositions that are adjusted to be slightly acidic to neutral are preferably used. From a professional standpoint, over the last 35 years, the thioglycolic acid esters have proved to be the reducing agents best suited for this purpose.
A major disadvantage of acidic hair waving compositions based on thioglycolic acid esters, however, is that they are poorly tolerated by the eyes and skin, and the sensitizing effect of the thioglycolic acid esters, so that the use of these hair waving compositions is widely avoided at present.
In European Patent No. EP 0969791 B1 it is reported that N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercapto-acetamide has substantially lower sensitization rates than their closest relatives in permanent waving ingredients, the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamides known from prior art German Patent No. DE 1 144 440 C and European Patent No. EP-A 0 455 457 A1, that is N-methylmercaptoacetamide and N-hydroxyethylmercaptoacetamide.
It is well known that the combination of known waving agents like thioglycolic acid, cysteamine, cysteine, thiolactic acid, and others with cationic polymers improve the condition of the hair with respect to combability. Yet the problem of fading of the color of dyed hair and the bleeding out of the color could not be solved thereby sufficiently.
It is a therefore the main goal of the invention to provide a permanent shaping composition and method that delivers unique elasticity and strength of the shaped hair from the tip to the root, an improved uniformity of the shaped hair with less disordered appearance and which simultaneously prevents the dyed hair from fading of the color and the bleeding out of the color.
Thioglycolic acid glyceryl esters are superior to thioglycolic acid and its salts in this respect but unfortunately these esters display the disadvantage of being sensitizing to the scalp and the hands of the hair dresser. Thioglycolic acid and its salts in combination with at least one cationic polymer on the other side does not sensitize the skin as much as the glyceryl thioglycolate but it does not leave the hair in such a good condition after waving as the ester does.
A further goal of the present invention is therefore to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which does not sensitize and irritate the skin and the scalp of man in a way that thioglycolic acid and its salts and particulary thioglycolic esters do.
A further goal of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which has superior hair care effects especially with regard to improved soft feel of wet and dry hair, improved elasticity of hair and durable waving of the hair.
Another goal of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which improves the odor of the treated hair significantly during and after the hair shaping process and which is superior to former compositions and thus enhances the customer's acceptance of permanent hair shaping products.
Another aim of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which causes less hair damage than compositions of the prior art.
A further aim of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which penetrates well into the hair but less into the skin than compositions of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above problems are solved by a composition for permanent hair shaping comprising:
(i) about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight of a N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula
wherein R1 is a straight chain alkyl residue with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms or a straight chain hydroxyalkyl with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 are hydrogen or straight chain alkyl residues with about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, or the salt thereof, (ii) about 0.1% by weight to about 15% by weight of at least one cationic polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic copolymers, cationic polysaccharides, cationic protein hydrolysates, and cationic silicone polymers; and (iii) about 5% by weight to about 95% by weight of water; and a method for permanent shaping of hair, wherein said method comprises the steps of: (a) putting the hair in a desired shape; (b) before and/or after the hair is put in the desired shape, applying an amount of a permanent shaping composition to the hair and allowing the permanent shaping composition to act on the hair for a predetermined acting time sufficient for the permanent shaping of the hair; (c) subsequently rinsing the hair with water or applying an intermediate treatment agent; (d) performing an oxidative post-treatment of the hair; (e) after the oxidative post-treatment, rinsing the hair with water and drying the hair.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The first essential component of the permanent hair shaping composition, the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I), is contained in the composition for permanent hair shaping hair in a quantity of from about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight, preferably from about 3% by weight to about 25% by weight and most preferred from about 4% by weight to about 20% by weight of the composition. The preferred salts of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) are the chloride, sulfate, acetate, or citrate.
The N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I), whereby N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercaptoacetamide is preferred, is preferably contained as the sole keratin-reducing agent in the composition. However, it may also be present in combination with other keratin-reducing agents, such as, thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropionic acid, or the salt thereof; cysteamine and cysteamine derivatives, such as, alkyl- or acylcysteamine; further cysteine and cysteine derivatives, such as, cysteine-(2-hydroxyethyl)ester and L-cysteine glycerine ester; or sulfites. If the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) is present in combination with other keratin-reducing agents, it is preferred that it is present in excess of the total amount of these other keratin-reducing agents.
The permanent shaping composition comprises the keratin-reducing agents in the quantities typical for shaping, for example the mixture of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) with the ammonium salts of thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid or cysteine, in a total amount of from about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight, preferably from about 2% by weight to about 28% by weight and most preferred from about 4% by weight to about 20% by weight of the composition.
It is preferred that the other hair keratin-reducing agents be a salt or the derivative of a mercapto carboxylic acid. It is especially preferred that the other keratin-reducing agents be selected from mercapto acetic acid, cysteine, and thiolactic acid, or salts thereof.

Other suitable cationic polysaccharides are chitosan, chitosan salts, and chitosan derivatives. The chitosans are completely or partially de-acetylated chitins (POLYQUATERNIUM-29). To produce a chitosan, one preferably starts with the chitin contained in the shell residues of crustaceans, which, as a cheaper and natural raw material, is available in large quantities. The molecular weight of the chitosan can be distributed across a broad spectrum, for example, of from about 20,000 g/mol to about 5 million g/mol. For example, a suitable low-molecular-weight chitosan is one with a molecular weight of from about 30,000 g/mol to about 70,000 g/mol. Preferably, however, the molecular weight is greater than 100,000 g/mol, or especially preferred is a molecular weight of from about 200,000 g/mol to about 700,000 g/mol. The level of de-acetylation is preferably from about 10% to about 99%, with about 60% to about 99% being especially preferred.
A suitable chitosan is sold, for example, by Kyowa Oil&Fat in Japan under the trade name Flonac®. It has a molecular weight of about 300,000 g/mol to about 700,000 g/mol and is de-acetylated to about 70% to about 80%. A preferred chitosan salt is chitosonium pyrrolidone carboxylate, which, for example, is sold under the name Kytamer® PC by Amerchol in the USA. The chitosan contained therein has a molecular weight of about 200,000 g/mol to about 300,000 g/mol and is de-acetylated to about 70% to about 85%. Quaternated, alkylated, or hydroxyalkylated derivatives, for example, hydroxyethyl or hydroxybutyl chitosans can be considered chitosan derivatives. The chitosans or chitosan derivatives are preferably present in their neutralized or partially neutralized form. The level of neutralization for the chitosan or the chitosan derivative is preferably at least 50%, with about 70% to about 100% being especially preferred, based on the number of free base groups. In principle, all cosmetically compatible inorganic or organic acids can be used as neutralizers, such as, formic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, of which the citric acid is preferred.

Customary starting materials are, for example, keratin, collagen, elastin, soy protein, rice protein, milk protein, wheat protein, silk protein, or almond protein. The hydrolysis results in material mixtures with mole masses in the range of about 100 to about 50,000. Customary, mean mole masses are in the range of about 500 to about 1,000. It is advantageous if the cationically derived protein hydrolysates have one or two long C8 to C22 alkyl chains and two or one short C1 to C4 alkyl chain accordingly.

By soluble what is meant is that the silicone conditioning agent is miscible with the aqueous carrier of the composition so as to form part of the same phase. By insoluble what is meant is that the silicone forms a separate, discontinuous phase from the aqueous carrier, such as, in the form of an emulsion or a suspension of droplets of the silicone.
Soluble silicones include silicone copolyols, such as, dimethicone copolyols, e.g., polyether siloxane-modified polymers, such as, polypropylene oxide, polyethylene oxide modified polydimethylsiloxane, wherein the level of ethylene and/or propylene oxide sufficient to allow solubility in the composition.
Preferred, however, are insoluble silicones. The insoluble silicone hair conditioning agent for use herein will preferably have viscosity of from about 1,000 mPa·s to about 2,000,000 mPa·s at 25° C., more preferably from about 10,000 mPa·s to about 1,800,000 mPa·s, even more preferably from about 100,000 mPa·s to about 1,500,000 mPa·s at 25° C. The viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capillary viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTM0004, Jul. 20, 1970.
Suitable insoluble, nonvolatile silicone fluids include polyalkyl siloxanes, polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkylaryl siloxanes, polyether siloxane copolymers, dimethylpolysiloxane containing terminal hydroxyl groups, methylphenyl polysiloxane containing terminal hydroxyl groups, and mixtures thereof. Specific examples thereof include hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethyltrisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane, and hexadecamethylheptasiloxane.
Other insoluble, nonvolatile silicone fluids having hair conditioning properties can also be used. The term “nonvolatile” as used herein shall mean that the silicone has a boiling point of at least about 260° C., preferably at least about 275° C., more preferably at least about 300° C. Such materials exhibit very low or no significant vapor pressure at ambient conditions. The term “silicone fluid” shall mean flowable silicone materials having a viscosity of less than 1,000,000 mPa·s at 25° C. Generally, the viscosity of the fluid will be between about 5 mPa·s and about 1,000,000 mPa·s at 25° C., preferably between about 10 mPa·s and about 300,000 mPa·s at 25° C.
The preferred silicones are polydimethyl siloxane, polydiethylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane is especially preferred. The nonvolatile polyalkylsiloxane fluids that may be used include, for example, polydimethyl siloxanes. These siloxanes are available, for example, from the General Electric Company in their ViscasilR and SF 96 series, and from Dow Corning in their Dow Corning 200® series.
The polyalkylaryl siloxane fluids that may be used, also include, for example, polymethylphenylsiloxanes. These siloxanes are available, for example, from the General Electric Company as SF 1075 methyl phenyl fluid or from Dow Corning as 556 Cosmetic Grade Fluid.
Suitable insoluble, volatile silicone fluids include low molecular weight oligomeric polydimethylsiloxane or cyclic polydimethylsiloxane, having a viscosity of no more than 10 mPa·s at 25° C. and a boiling point under atmospheric pressure of no more than 250° C. Volatility can be achieved in linear organopolysiloxanes by selection of oligomeric organopolysiloxanes with at most 6 to 10 silicone atoms in the organopolysiloxanes backbone, e.g., Dow Corning DC200 Fluid, having a viscosity of from about 0.65 mPa·s to about 2 mPa·s at 25° C. Preferably cylclic organopolysiloxanes having from about 3 to about 6 silicon atoms are utilized, for example, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (e.g., DC 244, DC 245, DC 345 of Dow Corning).
Especially preferred, for enhancing the shine characteristics of hair, are highly arylated silicones, such as, highly phenylated polyethyl silicone having refractive indices of about 1.46 or higher, especially about 1.52 or higher. When these high refractive index silicones are used, they should be mixed with a spreading agent, such as, a surfactant or a silicone resin, as described below to decrease the surface tension and enhance the film forming ability of the material.
The polyether siloxane copolymers that may be used include, for example, a polypropylene oxide modified polydimethylsiloxane (e.g., Dow Corning DC-12480) although ethylene oxide or mixtures of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide may also be used. The ethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide level should be sufficiently low to prevent solubility in the composition hereof.
Another silicone hair conditioning material that can be especially useful in the silicone conditioning agents is insoluble silicone gum. The term “silicone gum,” as used herein, means polyorganosiloxane materials having a viscosity at 25° C. of greater than or equal to about 1,000,000 mPa·s. The “silicone gums” will typically have a mass molecular weight in excess of about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, (polydimethylsiloxane) (methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (diphenyl siloxane) (methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer and mixtures thereof. Preferably the silicone hair treating agent comprises a mixture of a polydimethylsiloxane gum, having a viscosity greater than about 1,000,000 mPa·s and polydimethylsiloxane fluid having a viscosity of from about 10 mPa·s to about 100,000 mPa·s at 25° C., wherein the ratio of gum to fluid is from about 30:70 to about 70:30, preferably from about 40:60 to about 60:40.

pH-Value
By varying the pH value, a composition can be made available that is universally suitable for every hair structure, optionally with the additional application of heat. The composition brings about an elastic, durable, and uniform waving from the root of the hair to the ends, without eliciting allergic or sensitizing reactions.
The hair shaping composition preferably has a pH value of from 2.0 to 9.5 and especially preferably from 5.5 to 9.0. As an alkalizing agent or agent for adjusting the pH value, ammonia or caustic soda is especially suitable, but water-soluble, physiologically tolerable salts of organic and inorganic bases can also be considered, such as, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, ammonia, monoethanolamine, ammonium carbonate. Further suitable alkalizing agents may be selected from the group consisting of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, tris(hydroxylmethyl)-aminomethane, 2-amino-1-butanole, tris-(2-hydroxypropyl)-amine, 2,2-iminobisethanol, lysine, iminourea (guanidine carbonate), tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine, 2-amino-5-guanidin-valeric acid, 2-aminoethansulfonic acid, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methyl ethanolamine, isopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, glucamine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide and magnesium oxide.
To establish an acidic pH value, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, or citric acid can be used in particular. The acidic pH can be also adjusted with a buffer, such as, a phosphate buffer, a TRIS buffer, or a citric buffer. The buffers may be used alone or in combination with an acid.
If the shaping composition is adjusted to be acidic (for example to a pH=5.0 to 6.9), then esters of mercapto carboxylic acids may be present as co-agents, such as, for example, monothioglycol acid glycol esters or -glycerin esters, with mercapto acetamides or 2-mercaptopropionic acid amides being preferred, in a concentration of from about 1% by weight to about 14% by weight; or the salts of the sulfuric acid, for example, sodium, ammonium, or monoethanol ammonium sulfite, in a concentration of from about 3% by weight to about 8% by weight (calculated as SO 2 ).
Viscosity
The hair shaping composition of the present invention preferably has a viscosity at 25° C. of about 0.1 mPa·s to about 10,000 mPa·s, preferably from about 1 mPa·s to about 5,000 mPa·s, more preferably from about 5 mPa·s to about 3,500 mPa·s. Viscosity is determined—if not otherwise defined—by HAAKE Rotation Viscometer VT 550 with cooling/heating vessel and sensor systems according to DIN 53019 (MV-DIN, SV-DIN), shear rate is 12.9 s −1 .
Packages
The shaping composition may be sold in single- or dual- or triple-component packages; the composition may be in the form of an aqueous solution, or an emulsion, or in thickened water-based form, especially a cream, gel, foam, or paste.
Production
The production of the preferred N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) is done by reacting the 3-aminopropanole at a temperature of not above 30° C. with methylthioglycolate in a protective gas atmosphere, extraction in a suitable solvent, and ensuing flash distillation.
Method for Permanent Hair Shaping
A method for permanent shaping comprises the steps of: (a) putting the hair in a desired shape; (b) before and/or after the hair is put in the desired shape, applying an amount of a permanent shaping composition to the hair and allowing the permanent shaping composition to act on the hair for a predetermined acting time sufficient for the permanent shaping of the hair; (c) subsequently rinsing the hair with water or applying an intermediate treatment agent, (d) performing an oxidative post-treatment of the hair; (e) after the oxidative post-treatment, rinsing the hair with water and drying the hair, wherein said permanent shaping composition is the composition described hereinbefore.
Further details of the method are given as follows: First the hair (which is washed and towel-dried) is separated into multiple sections and then these sections are rolled onto curlers. The curlers used for permanent waves have a diameter of about 5 mm to about 13 mm, while the curlers used for straightening must have a diameter greater than 13 mm. After the rolling on curlers is finished, the curlers are thoroughly wetted down using the required quantity of the permanent shaping composition, preferably about 60 g to about 120 g.
The amount of time the permanent shaping composition stays on the hair is from about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, preferably from about 5 minutes to about 20 minutes. This action time can be shortened by adding heat via the use of a heat radiator or a hood dryer.
After the action time has elapsed that is sufficient for the permanent shaping, which is depending on hair quality, the pH value, the shaping effectiveness of the color-providing shaping agent, the desired level of change as well as on the application temperature, the hair is rinsed with water or treated with an intermediate treatment agent. Thereafter the hair is oxidatively post-treated (“fixed”). The fixing composition is used in a quantity of about 50 g to about 200 g, preferably about 80 g to about 100 g, depending on hair thickness and length. Any oxidizing agent that has been used before in fixing compositions can be used for the fixation. Examples of such oxidizing agents are potassium bromate, sodium bromate, sodium perborate, dehydroascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and urea peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is preferred. The concentration of the oxidizing agent varies depending on application time (normally about 1 minute to about 40 minutes, or preferably about 5 minutes to about 20 minutes) and application temperature (25° C. to 50° C.). The concentration of the oxidant varies, depending on the application time (as a rule, about 5 minutes to about 15 minutes) and the application temperature. Normally, oxidizing agents are used in a concentration of about 0.5% by weight to about 12.0% by weight, preferably about 1% by weight to about 3% by weight, in the aqueous fixing composition.
The fixing composition can obviously contain other materials, for example, weak acids or peroxide stabilizers. The fixing composition can naturally also include other substances, such as, wetting agents, hair-care substances, such as, cationic polymers, weak acids, buffer substances, or peroxide stabilizers, and may be in the form of an aqueous solution, an emulsion, or a thickened water-based form, in particular a cream, gel, or paste. These typical additives may be contained in the fixing composition in a quantity of about 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight, in particular.
Both the permanent shaping composition of the invention and the fixing composition can be present in the form of an aqueous solution or an emulsion, as well as in a thickened form on an aqueous basis, particularly as a cream, gel, or paste. It is also possible to fill these compositions into aerosol cans under pressure and to release them as aerosol foam. It is especially preferred that the fixing composition be in low viscosity liquid form. It is preferred that the fixing composition be an oxidation agent-containing, liquid preparation with a viscosity of from about 1 mPa·s to about 1,000 mPa·s at 25° C., wherein viscosity of from about 2 mPa·s to about 500 mPa·s at 25° C. is especially preferred. The viscosity values are based on measurements with a Haake rotational viscometer, type VT 550, at a shear speed of 12.9 per second.
After an action period required for the fixing agent of from about 3 minutes to about 15 minutes, preferably about 5 minutes to about 10 minutes, the curlers are removed. If necessary, the hair after being taken down from the curlers is oxidatively post-treated yet again, then the fixing agent is rinsed from the hair with water. The hair is optionally treated with a known acidic rinse. It is advantageous if the hair is then finally shaped into a water wave and then dried.
It is completely surprising that the method and composition for permanent hair shaping of the invention leads to improved results in a number of respects compared to the compositions comprising the widely used waving agent thioglycolic acid and its salts with at least one cationic polymer, but mainly in that the uniformity of curls of the hair treated is significantly better over the entire length of the hair.
The composition and method of the invention does not have the disadvantages of glyceryl thioglycolate and thioglycolic acid and its salts but possesses both advantages of displaying no sensitization problem and superior hair care effects. The excellent condition of hair treated with composition and method of the invention was shown by an improved soft feel of wet and dry hair, an improved uniformity of the curls from the roots to the tips, an improved elasticity of hair, and durable waving of the hair.
The following examples are intended to explain the subject of the invention in further detail, but without limiting the subject to these examples.

wherein R 1 is a straight chain alkyl residue with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms or a straight chain hydroxyalkyl with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 are hydrogen or straight chain alkyl residues with about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, or the salt thereof,
(ii) about 0.1% by weight to about 15% by weight of at least one cationic polymer; and (iii) about 5% by weight to about 95% by weight of water; and a method of permanently shaping hair using said composition.
7.Description:
(en)FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is a composition on the basis of a combination of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide and a cationic polymer for permanently shaping hair and a process therefore.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The classic technique for permanent hair waving is familiarly based on two treatment steps. In the first step, the cystine-disulfide bridges of the keratin of the hair are opened by the action of an agent that contains a reducing ingredient (waving composition). The hair is then put into the desired form. In a second step, cystine-disulfide bonds are closed again using a fixative, that is, an agent containing an oxidant ingredient.
Thioglycolic acid, for instance in the form of an ammonium or monoethanolamine salt, is used as a classic permanent hair waving reducing agent. Other typical reducing agents are 2-mercaptopropionic acid (thiolactic acid), 3-mercaptopropionic acid, cysteine, and derivatives of these compounds, as well as certain mercaptocarboxylic acid esters.
Alkaline-adjusted preparations based on mercaptocarboxylic acid esters, despite being adequately effective, cause hair damage, which is expressed for instance in increased hair breakage. Often, these compositions also undesirably stress the scalp. Finally, the unpleasant odor of the reducing agents used requires intensive perfuming of the products. By using 2-mercaptopropionic acid, it is possible to solve some of these problems. However, in comparison to thioglycolic acid, which is widely used, thiolactic acid produces weaker waves.
For gentle permanent waving of damaged and especially bleached or dyed hair, waving compositions that are adjusted to be slightly acidic to neutral are preferably used. From a professional standpoint, over the last 35 years, the thioglycolic acid esters have proved to be the reducing agents best suited for this purpose.
A major disadvantage of acidic hair waving compositions based on thioglycolic acid esters, however, is that they are poorly tolerated by the eyes and skin, and the sensitizing effect of the thioglycolic acid esters, so that the use of these hair waving compositions is widely avoided at present.
In European Patent No. EP 0969791 B1 it is reported that N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercapto-acetamide has substantially lower sensitization rates than their closest relatives in permanent waving ingredients, the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamides known from prior art German Patent No. DE 1 144 440 C and European Patent No. EP-A 0 455 457 A1, that is N-methylmercaptoacetamide and N-hydroxyethylmercaptoacetamide.
It is well known that the combination of known waving agents like thioglycolic acid, cysteamine, cysteine, thiolactic acid, and others with cationic polymers improve the condition of the hair with respect to combability. Yet the problem of fading of the color of dyed hair and the bleeding out of the color could not be solved thereby sufficiently.
It is a therefore the main goal of the invention to provide a permanent shaping composition and method that delivers unique elasticity and strength of the shaped hair from the tip to the root, an improved uniformity of the shaped hair with less disordered appearance and which simultaneously prevents the dyed hair from fading of the color and the bleeding out of the color.
Thioglycolic acid glyceryl esters are superior to thioglycolic acid and its salts in this respect but unfortunately these esters display the disadvantage of being sensitizing to the scalp and the hands of the hair dresser. Thioglycolic acid and its salts in combination with at least one cationic polymer on the other side does not sensitize the skin as much as the glyceryl thioglycolate but it does not leave the hair in such a good condition after waving as the ester does.
A further goal of the present invention is therefore to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which does not sensitize and irritate the skin and the scalp of man in a way that thioglycolic acid and its salts and particulary thioglycolic esters do.
A further goal of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which has superior hair care effects especially with regard to improved soft feel of wet and dry hair, improved elasticity of hair and durable waving of the hair.
Another goal of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which improves the odor of the treated hair significantly during and after the hair shaping process and which is superior to former compositions and thus enhances the customer's acceptance of permanent hair shaping products.
Another aim of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which causes less hair damage than compositions of the prior art.
A further aim of the present invention is to provide a composition and a method for permanent shaping hair which penetrates well into the hair but less into the skin than compositions of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above problems are solved by a composition for permanent hair shaping comprising:
(i) about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight of a N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula
wherein R1 is a straight chain alkyl residue with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms or a straight chain hydroxyalkyl with about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 are hydrogen or straight chain alkyl residues with about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, or the salt thereof, (ii) about 0.1% by weight to about 15% by weight of at least one cationic polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic copolymers, cationic polysaccharides, cationic protein hydrolysates, and cationic silicone polymers; and (iii) about 5% by weight to about 95% by weight of water; and a method for permanent shaping of hair, wherein said method comprises the steps of: (a) putting the hair in a desired shape; (b) before and/or after the hair is put in the desired shape, applying an amount of a permanent shaping composition to the hair and allowing the permanent shaping composition to act on the hair for a predetermined acting time sufficient for the permanent shaping of the hair; (c) subsequently rinsing the hair with water or applying an intermediate treatment agent; (d) performing an oxidative post-treatment of the hair; (e) after the oxidative post-treatment, rinsing the hair with water and drying the hair.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The first essential component of the permanent hair shaping composition, the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I), is contained in the composition for permanent hair shaping hair in a quantity of from about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight, preferably from about 3% by weight to about 25% by weight and most preferred from about 4% by weight to about 20% by weight of the composition. The preferred salts of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) are the chloride, sulfate, acetate, or citrate.
The N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I), whereby N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercaptoacetamide is preferred, is preferably contained as the sole keratin-reducing agent in the composition. However, it may also be present in combination with other keratin-reducing agents, such as, thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropionic acid, or the salt thereof; cysteamine and cysteamine derivatives, such as, alkyl- or acylcysteamine; further cysteine and cysteine derivatives, such as, cysteine-(2-hydroxyethyl)ester and L-cysteine glycerine ester; or sulfites. If the N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) is present in combination with other keratin-reducing agents, it is preferred that it is present in excess of the total amount of these other keratin-reducing agents.
The permanent shaping composition comprises the keratin-reducing agents in the quantities typical for shaping, for example the mixture of N-alkyl-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) with the ammonium salts of thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid or cysteine, in a total amount of from about 0.5% by weight to about 35% by weight, preferably from about 2% by weight to about 28% by weight and most preferred from about 4% by weight to about 20% by weight of the composition.
It is preferred that the other hair keratin-reducing agents be a salt or the derivative of a mercapto carboxylic acid. It is especially preferred that the other keratin-reducing agents be selected from mercapto acetic acid, cysteine, and thiolactic acid, or salts thereof.
The second essential component of the permanent hair shaping composition of the invention is a cationic copolymer, a cationic polysaccharide or a cationic silicon polymer, where the quaternary nitrogen groups are contained either in the polymer chain or preferably as substituents on one or more of the monomers. The ammonium group containing monomers can be copolymerized with non-cationic monomers.

The alkyl groups of these monomers are preferably lower alkyl groups, such as, C1 to C7 alkyl groups, with C1 to C3 alkyl groups being especially preferred.
The ammonium group-containing monomers can be copolymerized with non-cationic monomers. Suitable co-monomers are, for example, acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl- and dialkyl acrylamide, alkyl- and dialkyl methacrylamide, alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, vinyl caprolactone, vinyl caprolactam, vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl ester, e.g., vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, propylene glycol, or ethylene glycol, wherein the alkyl groups of these monomers are preferably C1 to C7 alkyl groups, with C1 to C3 alkyl groups being especially preferred.

A suitable cationic guar derivative is sold under the trade name Jaguar® R and has the INCI designation GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE.
Other suitable cationic polysaccharides are chitosan, chitosan salts, and chitosan derivatives. The chitosans are completely or partially de-acetylated chitins (POLYQUATERNIUM-29). To produce a chitosan, one preferably starts with the chitin contained in the shell residues of crustaceans, which, as a cheaper and natural raw material, is available in large quantities. The molecular weight of the chitosan can be distributed across a broad spectrum, for example, of from about 20,000 g/mol to about 5 million g/mol. For example, a suitable low-molecular-weight chitosan is one with a molecular weight of from about 30,000 g/mol to about 70,000 g/mol. Preferably, however, the molecular weight is greater than 100,000 g/mol, or especially preferred is a molecular weight of from about 200,000 g/mol to about 700,000 g/mol. The level of de-acetylation is preferably from about 10% to about 99%, with about 60% to about 99% being especially preferred.

Silicone Conditioning Agents
The cosmetic compositions hereof can also include volatile or nonvolatile, soluble or insoluble silicones as conditioning agents.

Such materials exhibit very low or no significant vapor pressure at ambient conditions. The term “silicone fluid” shall mean flowable silicone materials having a viscosity of less than 1,000,000 mPa·s at 25° C.

Further suitable alkalizing agents may be selected from the group consisting of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, tris(hydroxylmethyl)-aminomethane, 2-amino-1-butanole, tris-(2-hydroxypropyl)-amine, 2,2-iminobisethanol, lysine, iminourea (guanidine carbonate), tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine, 2-amino-5-guanidin-valeric acid, 2-aminoethansulfonic acid, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methyl ethanolamine, isopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, glucamine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide and magnesium oxide.
To establish an acidic pH value, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, or citric acid can be used in particular. The acidic pH can be also adjusted with a buffer, such as, a phosphate buffer, a TRIS buffer, or a citric buffer. The buffers may be used alone or in combination with an acid.
If the shaping composition is adjusted to be acidic (for example to a pH=5.0 to 6.9), then esters of mercapto carboxylic acids may be present as co-agents, such as, for example, monothioglycol acid glycol esters or -glycerin esters, with mercapto acetamides or 2-mercaptopropionic acid amides being preferred, in a concentration of from about 1% by weight to about 14% by weight; or the salts of the sulfuric acid, for example, sodium, ammonium, or monoethanol ammonium sulfite, in a concentration of from about 3% by weight to about 8% by weight (calculated as SO 2 ).
Viscosity
The hair shaping composition of the present invention preferably has a viscosity at 25° C. of about 0.1 mPa·s to about 10,000 mPa·s, preferably from about 1 mPa·s to about 5,000 mPa·s, more preferably from about 5 mPa·s to about 3,500 mPa·s. Viscosity is determined—if not otherwise defined—by HAAKE Rotation Viscometer VT 550 with cooling/heating vessel and sensor systems according to DIN 53019 (MV-DIN, SV-DIN), shear rate is 12.9 s −1 .
Packages
The shaping composition may be sold in single- or dual- or triple-component packages; the composition may be in the form of an aqueous solution, or an emulsion, or in thickened water-based form, especially a cream, gel, foam, or paste.
Production
The production of the preferred N-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-2-mercaptoacetamide of formula (I) is done by reacting the 3-aminopropanole at a temperature of not above 30° C. with methylthioglycolate in a protective gas atmosphere, extraction in a suitable solvent, and ensuing flash distillation.
Method for Permanent Hair Shaping
A method for permanent shaping comprises the steps of: (a) putting the hair in a desired shape; (b) before and/or after the hair is put in the desired shape, applying an amount of a permanent shaping composition to the hair and allowing the permanent shaping composition to act on the hair for a predetermined acting time sufficient for the permanent shaping of the hair; (c) subsequently rinsing the hair with water or applying an intermediate treatment agent, (d) performing an oxidative post-treatment of the hair; (e) after the oxidative post-treatment, rinsing the hair with water and drying the hair, wherein said permanent shaping composition is the composition described hereinbefore.
Further details of the method are given as follows: First the hair (which is washed and towel-dried) is separated into multiple sections and then these sections are rolled onto curlers. The curlers used for permanent waves have a diameter of about 5 mm to about 13 mm, while the curlers used for straightening must have a diameter greater than 13 mm. After the rolling on curlers is finished, the curlers are thoroughly wetted down using the required quantity of the permanent shaping composition, preferably about 60 g to about 120 g.
The amount of time the permanent shaping composition stays on the hair is from about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, preferably from about 5 minutes to about 20 minutes. This action time can be shortened by adding heat via the use of a heat radiator or a hood dryer.
After the action time has elapsed that is sufficient for the permanent shaping, which is depending on hair quality, the pH value, the shaping effectiveness of the color-providing shaping agent, the desired level of change as well as on the application temperature, the hair is rinsed with water or treated with an intermediate treatment agent. Thereafter the hair is oxidatively post-treated (“fixed”). The fixing composition is used in a quantity of about 50 g to about 200 g, preferably about 80 g to about 100 g, depending on hair thickness and length. Any oxidizing agent that has been used before in fixing compositions can be used for the fixation. Examples of such oxidizing agents are potassium bromate, sodium bromate, sodium perborate, dehydroascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and urea peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is preferred. The concentration of the oxidizing agent varies depending on application time (normally about 1 minute to about 40 minutes, or preferably about 5 minutes to about 20 minutes) and application temperature (25° C. to 50° C.). The concentration of the oxidant varies, depending on the application time (as a rule, about 5 minutes to about 15 minutes) and the application temperature. Normally, oxidizing agents are used in a concentration of about 0.5% by weight to about 12.0% by weight, preferably about 1% by weight to about 3% by weight, in the aqueous fixing composition.
The fixing composition can obviously contain other materials, for example, weak acids or peroxide stabilizers. The fixing composition can naturally also include other substances, such as, wetting agents, hair-care substances, such as, cationic polymers, weak acids, buffer substances, or peroxide stabilizers, and may be in the form of an aqueous solution, an emulsion, or a thickened water-based form, in particular a cream, gel, or paste. These typical additives may be contained in the fixing composition in a quantity of about 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight, in particular.
Both the permanent shaping composition of the invention and the fixing composition can be present in the form of an aqueous solution or an emulsion, as well as in a thickened form on an aqueous basis, particularly as a cream, gel, or paste. It is also possible to fill these compositions into aerosol cans under pressure and to release them as aerosol foam. It is especially preferred that the fixing composition be in low viscosity liquid form. It is preferred that the fixing composition be an oxidation agent-containing, liquid preparation with a viscosity of from about 1 mPa·s to about 1,000 mPa·s at 25° C., wherein viscosity of from about 2 mPa·s to about 500 mPa·s at 25° C. is especially preferred. The viscosity values are based on measurements with a Haake rotational viscometer, type VT 550, at a shear speed of 12.9 per second.
After an action period required for the fixing agent of from about 3 minutes to about 15 minutes, preferably about 5 minutes to about 10 minutes, the curlers are removed. If necessary, the hair after being taken down from the curlers is oxidatively post-treated yet again, then the fixing agent is rinsed from the hair with water. The hair is optionally treated with a known acidic rinse. It is advantageous if the hair is then finally shaped into a water wave and then dried.
It is completely surprising that the method and composition for permanent hair shaping of the invention leads to improved results in a number of respects compared to the compositions comprising the widely used waving agent thioglycolic acid and its salts with at least one cationic polymer, but mainly in that the uniformity of curls of the hair treated is significantly better over the entire length of the hair.
The composition and method of the invention does not have the disadvantages of glyceryl thioglycolate and thioglycolic acid and its salts but possesses both advantages of displaying no sensitization problem and superior hair care effects. The excellent condition of hair treated with composition and method of the invention was shown by an improved soft feel of wet and dry hair, an improved uniformity of the curls from the roots to the tips, an improved elasticity of hair, and durable waving of the hair.
The following examples are intended to explain the subject of the invention in further detail, but without limiting the subject to these examples.

For the use of the dual-component permanent waving composition, about 60 g of component A is mixed with about 14 g of component B to make a hair waving composition that is ready to use. The mixing results in a product with a pH of 6.5.
Normal hair, not previously damaged, is washed, dried with a towel and wound onto curlers with a diameter of about 6 mm. Thereafter the hair is moistened thoroughly and evenly with the above-described hair waving composition. After an action time of about 15 minutes to about 25 minutes, the hair is rinsed thoroughly with water and then oxidatively post-treated with about 80 g of a 3% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. After the curlers are removed, the hair is rinsed again with water, set for a water wave, and then dried. The thus-treated hair has a uniform, lively curliness, and offers an excellently formed, stable permanent wave.
